Food contact

EU

VESTOSINT^® polyamide 12 powders are approved in the European Union for direct food contact with a migration limit of 5 mg/kg for laurolactam.
The migration value must be tested and complied with on the finished product itself.

FDA

Under 21 CFR, § 177.1500 (a) (9) (Nylon Resins) of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), PA 12 powder is currently licensed in the U.S. for repeated-use coatings. The license does not apply to contact with alcohol-containing foods or beverages.

Drinking water

Special VESTOSINT^® coatings satisfy even the most rigorous criteria for contact with drinking water. Therefore, they are perfectly suitable, for example, for corrosion protection in public water mains.

Easy to clean and no surface fouling

Thanks to the non-porous smooth surface, VESTOSINT^® coatings are not susceptible to microbial growth and are easy to clean. They afford no points of attachment for microorganisms. This is proven by the microbiological test according to Working Specification W 270 of the German Technical and Scientific Association on Gas and Water (DVGW).
